Why homeowners replace Challenger panels
The old panel installation here was fairly neat, but Challenger panels are among the older brands that home inspectors, insurance companies and realtors often flag when a home is bought, sold or insured. Reports about the brand describe overheating and breaker problems. Federal Pacific panels raise the same kind of concern, and Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels have a long documented history as a fire hazard. Replacing an old panel with a new Square D QO is a common way to clear these concerns during a home sale or an insurance review.
